When an actress gets to play a daytime role for years on end, it’s something to celebrate and be proud of but when she lands a dream role — one that she never thought she’d ever get to do —well, that’s something to be very excited about. This is the case for The Young and the Restless’ Courtney Hope (Sally), who posted an Instagram story to share the big news…

In the video, Hope was clearly stunned, simply taken aback, as she relayed what happened to her followers. “So, I found out I booked something today and I’m so excited!” she began then went on to state, “Like I never thought I was going to get to do something like this… in my life. I literally had to call and say, ‘Are you sure you meant me? Really?!’”

Again, through pure excitement, the actress continued, “It’s just crazy where life brings you. It couldn’t be in better alignment with what I love. It’s crazy. I can’t tell you anything about it… That’s all I can say. I’m so excited! I genuinely was like, really? Not because I don’t think I could do it… I normally don’t post stuff like this but… life’s wild.
